I neglected the blog again! D: Here’s a new illustration done for Kiseki magazine‘s editorial page. For some reason, I had this idea that things will be much faster in watercolor, and well.. I don’t know if I was right or wrong. Overall the time spent is probably shorter, but when working with watercolor I ended up having to take a lot of pauses in between to wait for the paint to dry, so actually I did the coloring over a few days. As for inking, it’s definitely faster than in the computer! I tried to do it kazuaki’s way, which I once saw in a tutorial, first sketch on paper, then scan and ink on the computer, then print out and ink it again (actually her steps were more complicated since at the end she inked everything again in the computer ==) I think I’m still most comfortable with hand drawing rather than using the tablet, just have a problem with scanning quality.

I think at the end I’m only 70% satisfied with the coloring.. went way overboard with the colors : P I need to work on positive/negative space and just light/shadow in general.

Errm, just wanted to try  typing more about the drawing so it doesn’t seem like just a repeat post of dA XD; Era, put your new pic!!!

I haven’t posted for awhile! Been distracted in the past weeks..!
Next week is finally my last week at work before I go back to uni, it’s a bit sad, but I’m hoping to have a lot of time to draw!!

Anyways, here’s some watercolors that I’ve been doing lately~~
Getting into watercolors recently because I just got a new set, because it’s really relaxing to do and because.. I can watch anime and draw at the same time XD yay

So I’ve been watching FMA~~~ Watched.. 50 eps in about a week!? O__O So addicted.

I’m still trying to make my art more loose though. Recently I concentrated too much on being neat @_@

starting to be some Gantz previews out *A*)
LOOKS GOOOD~~~ A lot of things look so exactly the same as the manga, the black ball, the suit, one of the alien~~
Can’t wait for this to be out! Nino looks really good as well

On another note, this is something I drew ages & ages ago.. I was trying to make a tiled background LOL! Forgot about it until now XD

Kiseki arrived *A*) Thank you Jono!!

Quickly turned to editorial page.. (sorry bad qual photo from phone XD) Feel better about my pic this time, I made sure the lines are super clean ;A; Although if I look closely, I can see mistakes -_-

Era’s pic! Drool at the details *A*

That’s it for the previews. Go buy Kiseki now everyone! : D shameless advertising

When I was bored yesterday, I made some stamps while watching drama LOL~~

It’s bambi =w=

Super random doodle——–!!!!!!
Yesterday I went to Kino for the magazine sales XD Grabbed a few fashion mags for inspiration and because they’re fun to look at And then I felt like drawing extremely random colorful clothings :p In fact what I really wanted to do was just draw any picture with a super bright yellow/lime green background. Which I have done so *satisfaction*

Been wanting to draw a manga to practice my art *A*) Nothing amazing, just a random shoujo one for fun~ I SHALL DRAW ONE!
